Study Notes
Evaluating Expressions
- Involves substituting a variable in an expression with a specific number and then simplifying.
- Example: For the expression ( 4 + a ) with ( a = 5 ), the solution yields ( 4 + 5 = 9 ).
Interpreting Expressions
- Refers to explaining the meaning of an expression without performing calculations.
- Example: The expression ( 4 \times (2 + 3) ) can be interpreted as "Two plus three times four."
Operation
- Represents a mathematical calculation, encompassing the four fundamental operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Numerical Pattern
- A sequential collection of numbers that allows for the prediction of subsequent values.
- Example: An ordered pattern such as ( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ).
Parenthesis
- Symbols, namely parentheses ( ), that indicate which operation should be performed first in an expression.
- Example: In the expression ( 3 + (2 - 1) ), the operation inside the parentheses is calculated first.
Bracket
- A mathematical notation ( ) or [ ] that indicates the precedence of operations according to the order of operations.
- Example: In ( 3 \times [4 + 2] ), the bracketed expression ( 4 + 2 ) is resolved first.
Rule
- A defined standard procedure or pattern utilized within a pattern or expression.
- Example of a pattern: ( 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ); the rule is to double the previous number.
